Elegance Bath Products, Inc. (EBP) makes a variety of ceramic sinks and tubs. EBP has just developed a line of sinks and tubs ma

de from a mixture of glass and ceramic. The sinks sell for $150 each and have variable costs of $80. The tubs sell for $600 and have variable cost of $450. The glass and ceramic sinks and tubs require the use of specialized molding equipment. The specialized molding equipment has 4,050 hours of capacity per year. A sink uses an average of 2 hours of specialized molding equipment time; a tub uses an average of 5 hours of specialized molding equipment time.Assume that EBP can sell as many as 1,000 sinks and 500 tubs per year. How many tubs should EBP produce?a.1,000b.500c.410d.675e.zero

Answer:

C) 410 tubs

Explanation:

the contribution margin for sinks is $70 (= $150 - $80) and the contribution margin for tubs is $150 (= $600 - $450).

the molding equipment has 4,050 hours of capacity per year, so it can produce either 2,025 sinks or 810 tubs.

we can determine what product is more profitable if we determine a contribution margin per molding equipment usage ratio:

  • sink = $70 / 2 hours = $35 per hour
  • tub = $150 / 5 hours = $30 per hour

It is more profitable to produce sinks than tubs, but we can sell only 1,000 sinks per year, so even after we product the 1,000 sinks we will have spare molding equipment capacity which we can use to produce tubs.

The spare molding equipment capacity after producing sinks = 4,050 total hours - 2,000 hours used to produce sinks = 2,050 spare molding hours

We can produce 410 tubs (= 2,050 molding hours / 5 hours per tub)

Jen's Fashions is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a 19 percent rate for the next 3 years, with the growth rat
Sedaia [141]

Answer:

Ans. Current Share Price=$33.85

Explanation:

Hi, we first have to establish the dividend for the first 3 years and the  dividend when the growth rate falls off to a constant rate of 8% with the formula to find the present value of a perpetuity with constant growth rate. From there, we need to bring all the above cash flows to present value and that is the price of the share. The formula is as follows.

Price=\frac{D1}{(1+r)^{1}}+\frac{D2}{(1+r)^{2} } +\frac{D3}{(1+r)^{3} } +\frac{D3(1+g)}{(r-g)} \frac{1}{(1+r)^{3} }

To find D1, D2,and D3, we have to do this.

D1=Do(1+0.19)

D2=D1(1+0.19)

D3=D2(1+0.19)

Since 0.19 is the growth rate for 3 years. Everything should look like this

Price=\frac{4.04}{(1+0.12)^{1}}+\frac{4.29}{(1+0.12)^{2} } +\frac{25.52}{(1+0.12)^{3} } +\frac{25.52(1-0.08)}{(0.12+0.08)} \frac{1}{(1+0.12)^{3} } =33.85

notice that the sign of the last part do not coincide with the formula, that is because the growth rate from the first 3 years is -8%.

Best of luck.

Lusk corporation produces and sells 20,000 units of product x each month. the selling price of product x is $30 per unit, and va
balandron [24]

From economics, we know that the formula for Profit is:

Profit = Income – Total Cost

Case 1: Continue producing and selling product x

income is calculated as:

Income = ($30 / unit) * (20, 000 units)

Income = $ 600, 000

Total cost is composed of both the fixed cost and variable cost:

Total cost = Variable cost + Fixed cost

Total cost = ($21 / unit) * (20, 000 units) + $250,000

Total cost = $670, 000

Therefore, the profit of producing and selling product x each month is:

Profit = $ 600, 000 - $670, 000

<span>Profit 1= - $70, 000        (decifit)</span>

 

Case 2: Discontinue producing and selling product x

Since there is no income but there is unavoidable fixed cost of $50,000, therefore:

<span>Profit 2 = - $50, 000       (deficit)</span>

 

The company’s overall net operating income would be the change in profit (deficit in this case):

Net operating income = Profit 2 – Profit 1

Net operating income = - $50, 000 – (- $70, 000)

Net operating income = $20, 000

 

<span>Therefore discontinuing product x would result in an increase in the overall net operating income by $20,000 per month.</span>

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Marvel’s expected sales are 20,000 bookcases for the quarter. The company begins the quarter with an inventory of 3,000 bookcases and wants to have enough finished bookcases on hand at the end of the quarter to provide for 15% of the next quarter’s expected sales of 24,000 bookcases.
